In Plain Sight- Towards Engendering the Fight for Racial Justice in the 21st Century

November 1, 2014 @ 9:00 am - 6:00 pm

Free

Please join the African American Policy Forum and
the Center for Intersectionality and Social Policy Studies for

IN PLAIN SIGHT
Towards Engendering the Fight for Racial Justice in the 21st Century

WHY ARE WOMEN OF COLOR:

  • KILLED BY STATE VIOLENCE, but their names, faces and stories unknown?
  • EXPERIENCING PRIVATE VIOLENCE, but silenced by community politics?
  • OVER-REPRESENTED IN THE PRISON SYSTEM, but considered outside the fight against the New Jim Crow?
  • MORE DEEPLY IMPACTED BY THE RECESSION, but not represented in economic justice agendas?
  • TARGETED BY RACISM but excluded from racial justice initiatives?

JOIN US as we work together to build a holistic racial justice agenda that addresses gendered needs and systemic conditions.

Please RSVP here.

*Please note that the summit has been consolidated into one day (previously scheduled for October 31st and November 1st) due to the holiday
